The Best Entertainment Era

Most of the film projects shot by Shahai Entertainment this year have come to the end or even completed. Ronan has been very busy during this period, and he has completely handed over the Oscar PR for Hero to the embassy film industry.

Anyway, the goal is just one Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

The core of this film determines that it cannot be as dazzling in the North American market as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Cultural differences are not just talk, but real existence.

Throughout mid-December, Ronan was busy with several key films.

Paul Greengrass completed all the post-production and editing of Bourne Shadow 2, and officially submitted the sample to him as the producer. After Ronan gathered the high-level executives of Embassy Pictures and Sandsea Entertainment to watch it, they unanimously approved it. Edited version by Paul Greenglass.

As long as there is no problem with the rating review of paa, this is the final release version.

A release date for the film has also been set, with Embassy Pictures initially slated for the Memorial Day holiday in late May, but Disney Studios has moved ahead with Finding Nemo on that date.

The two masterpieces collided directly, and it would only be bloody. The schedule of The Bourne 2 could only be advanced, and it was selected on the second weekend in May.

The only film that actually started production at any scale during the same weekend was Sony Columbia Pictures' Daddy's Ranger.

Sony Entertainment itself does not pay special attention to this film.

However, the North American summer holidays are always crowded. Needless to say, the weekends before and after are all top Hollywood productions.

The beginning of the summer file seems to have started from Spider-Man, and gradually became the exclusive premiere schedule of Marvel superhero movies. On the first weekend of May, X-Men 2 produced and distributed by Twentieth Century Fox was released , Warner Bros. produced and released The Matrix 2: Reloaded premiered on its third weekend.

Later, there will be big productions such as Fake God, Finding Nemo, and Terminator.

The year 200 will not only be a big movie year for Relativity Entertainment, but also a big year for Hollywood movies.

Not to mention the sequel films and small productions of Relativity Entertainment, three of the films with an investment of more than 50 million US dollars will be released.

In addition to Bourne Shadow 2, there are Pirates of the Caribbean and All People in Love.

The post-production of Pirates of the Caribbean has entered the final stage, and the North American release schedule is placed on the weekend after the Independence Day holiday.

In fact, the schedule also shows that the distribution business of Embassy Pictures cannot compete with the six major companies.

There is internal tacit understanding and coordination among the distribution businesses of the six major companies. The best schedules, such as the first weekend of the summer vacation, the President’s Day holiday, the Memorial Day holiday, and the Independence Day holiday, etc., will basically be released early. It was divided up by the six major companies.

Check the annual North American screening schedule, these best schedules are basically occupied by the big productions of the six major companies.

If you don't want to have a bloody collision with the big commercial productions of the six major companies, you can only find a suitable premiere time from other schedules.

This Independence Day schedule has been squeezed into several well-known films such as Terminator, Stealing the Sky and Legal Blonde 2. It can be said to be very crowded. There is no need for Pirates of the Caribbean to beat these films. battle.

In contrast, on the weekend after Independence Day, only a film like Raiders of the Sky was released on a large scale, which is considered a very good schedule.

Ronan has already seen the trailer of this movie. It is the movie that is somewhat similar to the Avengers. The actor is Sean Connery who is about to bid farewell to the movie industry.

It is said that this old-fashioned male star who is famous in the circle for vulgarity, irascibility, arrogance and disrespect, after selling decades of gentleman characters, it is difficult to exit decently in the end.

Although there was no such thing as selling human figures at that time, Sean Connery can be said to be one of the most successful Hollywood stars in selling human figures.

The most important thing is that Sean Connery's personality has not collapsed even after retirement.

Another big release from Embassy Pictures is The Rival, starring Will Smith and Charlize Theron.

Of course, for Relativity Entertainment, the production cost of 60 million US dollars is an out-and-out big production, but in today's Hollywood, it can only be regarded as an upper-middle-scale film at best.

In this era, the threshold for first-line Hollywood productions has risen to $100 million.

If you don't spend 100 million US dollars, I'm really embarrassed to say that I am a first-line big production.

The Rival of All People has just started filming, and the release time is scheduled for the holiday after November. Will Smith has a huge appeal and is also the film's biggest reliance.

As for Charlize Theron, box office appeal and the like can basically be ignored.

Then there are those sequel movies and small productions, such as Human Purge Project, Wrong Turn 2, Underworld 2, Dungeon Siege and other films will be released one after another next year.

In addition, Wen Ziren's Chain Saw is also making preliminary preparations, and the schedule will be booked after seeing his shooting situation.

James Wan and Ray Warner are currently revising the script. According to James Wan, he can complete the filming and post-production in as little as three months.

Ronan vaguely remembered that Saw seemed to have only been filmed for more than ten days.

The scene of this film is very simple, at best, it is more complicated than a bunch of people sitting together and listening to others bragging.

Having said that, the first part of Saw is a real classic, especially the moment Tobin Bell stood up, which stunned countless people.

Relativity Entertainment is moving forward step by step.

In the past few days, the business situation related to the company has been continuously fed back to Ronan.

In addition to the film projects, Grey's Anatomy on ab TV has completed its first run, and the first season of the show has been on the rise.

ab TV station has officially issued an order to Shahai Entertainment for the second season.

The copyright of the second round of the show skyrocketed to $5 million.

And after the second round of airing, the DVD of Grey's Anatomy will be fully released, and Netflix will get the exclusive online copyright.

The film and television production and publicity business of Relativity Entertainment provides an excellent platform for Netflix.

In the second quarter of 2002, Netflix achieved a turnaround in the quarter. Although the profit was less than 2 million US dollars, it was also a good start.

By the third quarter, quarterly earnings nearly doubled to nearly $4 million.

Although the statistics for the fourth quarter have not yet been released, it is not inevitable that the profit figures will rise further.

Even if there is a huge loss in the first quarter, Netflix is ​​very hopeful to achieve profitability based on the annual performance.

Now that the dvd industry is developing rapidly, and the Internet industry is gradually recovering from the blow in 2000, Netflix's business is promising.

In addition to the film and television projects, there is another news that has reached Ronan. Bell Grylls led his team into the Atlantic Ocean. He has left the British waters and challenged rubber boats to cross the Atlantic Ocean in the traditional winter. It takes courage.

It can only be said that Bell is very adventurous.

It's a pity that he was not the first person to cross the Atlantic Ocean and did not attract much attention.

Taking advantage of Christmas, Ronan made a special trip to New York to meet Lindsay Bill and ask her about the results of her personal interview; -Smith's class.

New York, Central Park, the filming of the crew has just ended.

Here, Will. Ronan beckoned to Will Smith, and when Will Smith came over after taking off his makeup, he said, How does it feel to be filming a romantic comedy?

Will Smith shrugged: It's not bad, it's much easier than fighting back and forth.

Ronan turned and walked towards the river, and said as he walked, It can be seen that you enjoy it.

Will Smith said: It's okay. He suddenly asked: Ronan, this film is about reality, can I apply for an Oscar?

It's hard. Ronan said truthfully, Don't forget, this is a comedy.

Will Smith sighed: That's right, those people like to see people cry, but not so much like to see people laugh.

Ronan asked, Have you not given up on Oscar yet?

Will-Smith said: Oscar is also one of the pursuits of actors. Although I am taking the commercial route, I also want to try to win an Oscar. He added: So is Tom. .”

I have a project in my hand, which is realistic. Ronan thought of Chris Gardner's life experience who had already obtained the adaptation rights: You may be more suitable.

Will Smith looked at Ronan with concern: Last time I heard you said that you collect copyrights everywhere, is there really something suitable for me?

Ronan nodded: Biographical subject matter. Will, have you heard of Chris Gardner? A black stockbroker who went from being almost a street vagrant to becoming the boss of a listed company.

Will Smith was quite surprised: A realistic version of the American dream? It can't be fake.

It's true. Ronan said simply: The copyright department of Relativity Entertainment has contacted him in detail and also conducted a verification. Chris Gardner's wealth history is more legendary than the movie, and he is definitely very suitable for a movie adaptation. theme.

Hearing this, Will Smith's heart was moved. He had a close relationship with Ronan in the past few years, so he naturally knew that the project initiated by Ronan was very reliable, and the biographical type of film was simply customized for Oscar.

Although the American dream is just a dream most of the time, it does not prevent it from becoming the favorite type of Oscar judges.

Will Smith was not polite to Ronan either, and asked directly, Do you have a script?

Ronan shook his head slightly: The adaptation hasn't started yet. When you return to Los Angeles after filming this film, you can take a look at Chris Gardner's profile first.

Okay, Will Smith said.

Ronan came to the periphery of the set and walked back, and met Charlize Theron and another person head-on.
